Thanks to Luke and viscouse, who agree that would be great fun to run around smacking with a shovel while it tries to roll away.

This thing might make soccer interesting... at least the ball could try to run away or fight back.

When are we going get a robot like rosy from the jetsons? lol Going give it 5 years for rich people. We have small robots in the making that can do individual jobs around a home but not ONE that can do it all

I don't think anyone supports your robophobia anymore GW.I for one am looking forward to having an intelligent robot pet that transforms into a ball. I will call her Metroid.

I'm fighting so hard not to correct you... So much geek rage...

Maybe she'll meet a nice boy named Zelda, too.

And Halo can administer their wedding! *swoon*

Replace the plastic with armour and you would have a near impenetrable yet highly mobile robot. You could put a communications array, designator or even weapon inside the "top" of the device to be deployed when not engaged. As non-military options go, you could use this as a wildlife camera, with the ability of protecting itself like an armadillo when threatened with damage. This is quite an awesome little robot.

Slap on an AI that recognizes bipeds and add a speaker to say, "Exterminate! Exterminate!" and you have a regular Dr.Who episode right there.
